    Is it possible to have simultaneous views: Left, Right etc?

      Does any add-on or plug-in exist that will turn SU into a quad screen interface like 3DSmax? So I could have a perspective area + Left, Right and Top view active at the same time? This would be awesome! I often lack the visual update from a design adjustment in one of the other views while I'm in the sketch process. β˜€

        I have found a sample file at the 3Dwarehouse that shows a way to do this with 4 versions of a component rotated, but it's very handy for modeling, so I hope something better is available πŸ˜„?

          I have not seen one yet, I have heard of this request before however.

          But it begs the question...why?

          IMO SU has the best navigation of all 3d modeling apps, and coupled with scene tabs it's perfect, why restrict it to four small segmented squares?

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            Try the Default scenes plugin. You can then swap view to view.

              solo: I'm not sure I can explain it so it makes sense, but I would like mimic parallel projection drawing in SU, so if I move a wall in the 'top' view i can see the result as i do it in the 'Left' view and so on, so in theory each view could hold different section cuts that "reacts/updates" in real time based on what I do in another view. This would be useful for my architecture study and sketch process.

              Rich: Thanks I'll give it a try πŸ˜„

                Hi folks.

                See this SU file for ideas.
